The European Union will lift some sanctions on Syria, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said today, quoted by Reuters and BTA.
Barrot added that France will propose imposing sanctions on Iranian officials responsible for the detention of French citizens in Iran.
Earlier this morning, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaia Kallas expressed her expectation that European foreign ministers would approve today the extension of sanctions against Russia over the war in Ukraine, as well as easing measures imposed on Syria under former President Bashar Assad.
